The best hotel, small, cozy, personal attention. Everybody was super kind, welcoming and making sure you were comfortable. We went for our honeymoon and every night we had a little detail in our bed. The first night chanpagne, the second night hot chocolate and creme brulee. Just perfect! The best!

We recently stayed at The Last Word Franschhoek and were truly impressed by the experience. The décor is elegant and calming, creating a serene and welcoming atmosphere throughout the hotel. The staff were absolutely outstanding—warm, attentive, and genuinely eager to make our stay as enjoyable as possible. Every interaction felt personal and thoughtful. Special little touches like the turndown service made it special, returning to little treats like crème brûlée and hot chocolate in the evening was such a lovely surprise, and the gin & tonic station in the room along with yoga mat & weights added to the delight. The location couldn’t be better—right on the main street, with restaurants, boutiques, and galleries just a short stroll away. It made exploring the town incredibly easy and enjoyable. If you’re looking for a luxurious yet relaxed place to stay in the heart of Franschhoek, I highly recommend The Last Word. It truly lives up to its name.

Franklin and his team understand hospitality. We felt so welcome and so looked after, nothing is too much trouble. The hotel is stunning with beautiful boutique interiors and a bar with everything you could want. The room we had was a pool suite and it was huge! The beds were super comfy and again the mini bar was so well stocked it was brilliant. The breakfasts are to die for! Try the French toast… This place is special and it’s Franklin and his team that make it so. We will be back!

Such a wonderful hotel, all the staff was so friendly and professional and made us feel very special, From the moment we arrived we have been cared with bed warmers and some sweet compliments every evening ☺️ and excellent breakfasts every morning (the most beautiful setting with porcelain I have ever seen in a hotel). The rooms are spacious and very stylish and what is important in winter time there was a floor heater. The location is very convenient: a walking distance to the best restaurants and to the wine tram station. The lounge zone is so chique and I really like the concept of honesty bar. This stay was the best before returning back home. Thanks to all the staff members!

What a lovely boutique hotel/ b & b in the heart of the village. Great massive bedroom the pictures do not do it justice and a bathroom the size of a bedroom. Lovely outdoor pool areas, and a wonderful breakfast to start the day. Would definitely stop here again.

Stayed in many boutique hotels and The Last Word Franschoek has to be in my top 3 worldwide. Everything was perfect. Wonderfully decorated , warm, spacious room with a pool. Warm, happy , helpful, knowledgable staff. It’s the extra special bits, that set this place apart from the rest. In future , wherever I travel , I will be looking to see if there is a Last Word Hotel in the area. Thanks to all the staff for making it magical. Regards Grant
